A short working week means the weekend is already looming on the horizon, but before then, there is plenty of sporting action to get stuck into. We have marked your card below for the major betting events of the next few days.

Please remember that unlike fixed odds betting, when spread betting losses can exceed deposits.

FOOTBALL – EUROPEAN FOOTBALL

Both Champions League ties are finely poised with Barcelona travelling to Italy this evening after drawing 3-3 in an enthralling first leg with Inter. Goals are once again likely to be the order of the day with Total Goals priced at 3.3-3.5 and our Total Goal Minutes football spread betting market available to buy or sell at 165-180. In the fixed odds prices, Raphinha has been boosted from 31/20 to 9/5 to score anytime and continue his stellar season in front of goal.

In the other semi, a 1-0 defeat in North London has left Arsenal as 7/2 shots to make the final. They will have to go to Paris and perform well, but they have been patchy of late, with the Gunners made a 23/10 poke to win inside 90 minutes. Ousmane Dembele has been averaging 0.68 goals per 90 minutes in the Champions League and he is 7/5 from 5/4 to score anytime.

In the Europa League, it looks like it is job done for Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United with the pair boasting strong leads from the first leg. Finally, in the Conference League, Chelsea have been made huge favourites against Djurgardens and having won the first leg 4-1, the Blues have been made 2.3-2.5 favourites on the Supremacy spread.

HORSE RACING – CHESTER MAY FESTIVAL

With the Guineas already over and done with, the flat season is well underway and focus for horse racing betting punters switches to the north west this week with the Chester May Festival.

It is a great chance to see some of those with Derby aspirations and Aidan O’Brien travels mob-handed to the banks of the River Dee with the likely two favourites in the betting for the Group 3 Chester Vase. The Ballydoyle outfit have won five of the last ten Cheshire Oaks and they have Giselle as the likeliest winner of their three runners.

St Leger winner Jan Brueghel will go in the Group 3 Ormonde Stakes while there is also the Listed Dee Stakes on Thursday, before the main event on Friday. The valuable Chester Cup handicap has been won by dual-purpose runners in the last two years and East India Dock is currently 5/1 to continue that trend. James Ferguson’s Wonder Legend has impressed on the all-weather circuit and is 5/1 to strike on Friday, with Who’s Glen an 11/2 shot for the Andrew Balding team.

Although Chester is the main horse racing betting focus for the week, there is plenty of action from across the country and we will be with you every furlong of the way with price boosts and special spread markets.

FOOTBALL – EFL PLAY-OFFS

The play-offs are a constant source of drama and they get underway this week with Sheffield United travelling to Bristol City this weekend. The Blades ultimately finished ten points shy of leading duo Leeds and Burnley, but they are 9/5 favourites to win the Championship play-offs. There is a cigarette paper between faltering Sunderland a 13/5 and their opponents while Bristol City are 4/1 to ascend to the Premier League for this first time.

In League One, Stockport County are 15/8 to make it back-to-back promotions under Dave Challinor with the Hatters playing Leyton Orient in their semi-final. Charlton Athletic play Wycombe on Saturday evening with the Addicks 11/5 to take a win back to the Valley.

Finally, we come to League 2 which appears to be the hardest division to call. Walsall dropped down into the play-offs in dramatic circumstances while Chesterfield secured their place on the final day. Both of those are 14/5 to triumph at Wembley with Wimbledon and Notts County 5/2 shots.
